Chapter 8 – Mrs. Nelson

Ky navigated the roads and up to the Terrace Ridge Nursing Home. I kept glancing over at her as she drove, gawd her neck was so graceful... I just wanted to leave a trail of kisses along it. I reveled in the heat coming from our clasped hands. How is it we have known each other for such a short time when it feels so natural to do this?

We pulled into a parking spot and she turned off the car. Though Baltar didn't agree with that line of action as he sputtered, trying to cling to life. He died in a backfire. God help me but it caused me to burst out in a fit of giggles... again. I simply LOVE her car!

She shot me one of her lopsided grins with a squinted eye then broke out into a genuine smile as she grabbed her bag, making sure her iPad was in it. Then she made a show of zipping up her jacket and exited.

I opened the door thinking, how cold could it possibly... Jesus! I quickly zipped up my coat and watched my breath fog in the air. I guess that answered that question. “You didn't tell me you lived in the Arctic Ky!”

She grinned and made some odd reference. “Suck it up, Buttercup.” I rolled my eyes then looked around, it was gorgeous. We were surrounded by an evergreen forest and towering mountains off to the east. The nursing home looked to be a large one story four wing building. There looked to be about fifteen rooms per wing if the number of window air conditioning units on this wing was any indication. It was well kept and looked almost inviting. I bumped hips with the read headed pixie as we went into the building.

She waved at the silver haired woman in a pretty plum blouse and matching professional skirt as we unzipped our coats. The woman grinned and said, “Hello Kylee, she's in the rec-room watching her stories. We miss seeing you around here the past few months. But I'm glad you still make the weekend visits. It means the world to her on her lucid days.”

Kylee's face looked both grateful and sad as she nodded and pushed her glasses up farther in that adorable habit. “Thanks Wanda. Oh, and this is my friend, Amber Lee.”

The woman shook my hand and I saw a glint of recognition in them but she just smiled and stayed professional. “Pleased to meet you Amber Lee.”

I smiled back. “Likewise Wanda.”

She turned back to her desk and grabbed some paperwork off the desk and walked off, giving us another smile.

I was watching her depart when I was suddenly jerked down the hall with Kylee's voice full of mirth as she dragged me with her. “Come along, Cornfed.”

I had to suppress a laugh. I took a page out of her book and squinted an eye and waggled my other hand in a fist at her as I mimicked her voice.
